415
"You've been tired all day today, let Xiaojiu and I go to the kitchen to cook, and you go and talk with my father and mother, and talk about what to bring to your house tomorrow."

Thinking of the official visit to Dou Kou's parents tomorrow, he felt very nervous. He had never been so nervous when he was lazily practicing martial arts with his father since he was a child. If he didn't do more work, he might have insomnia tonight.

Cardamom lowered her head and rubbed her clean and tender palms, and asked in a low voice, "Did Uncle Qi and Aunt Mei say anything?"

"Say it," Qi Tengmiao said with a smile when he saw Cardamom's tense expression like a prey, "Look, you are nervous, my father and my mother don't know how to eat people, they just said something about meeting tomorrow, you go and listen Listen, our family doesn't understand your customs either."

"Our family doesn't pay much attention to it. It's just an engagement. There are not so many red tapes to pay attention to. On your side, there may be many things to worry about."

Cardamom noticed from Qi Tengmiao's relaxed tone that this idiot had no idea that there were other things waiting for him after getting married, maybe something that would kill him, she thought about it, and let him keep it. Such a smile until the day the truth comes.

"Go ahead, Xiaojiu and I are fine here," Qi Tengmiao pushed out Cardamom, who had been out of the kitchen for a long time, "Hurry up and sign the contract, they are waiting for you."

Qi Yuping and his wife are in the guest room of Baiweitang. Outside the window is a rose in the forest that has been at least 50 years old. It grows very thick. Especially in this season, the luxuriant flowers can cover the window. The upper two-thirds of the petals have been knocked down and have not been cleaned.

Aunt Mei was looking at the roses all over the place by the window, her face was as gloomy as those lonely roses on the tree.

Cardamom walked to the door, but Aunt Mei didn't notice her until she raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Aunt Mei, Uncle Qi, is it convenient for me to come in?"

"Come in and sit down," Aunt Mei said softly in the room, because the window was open, Dougao could hear it clearly, so she pushed the door open and entered, saluting.

"Your child is already a family, and these etiquettes are exempted. Don't just accept such a big ceremony, just treat me as your mother-in-law."

Dougao's heart warmed when these words were thoughtful, but Aunt Mei is a princess after all, and she can't skip the etiquette at all. This is the rule of this era, so she naturally dare not omit it, but the salute is more important. Out of respect for Qi Tengmiao and his parents.

"Uncle Qi, Aunt Mei, just now Qi Tengmiao asked me to come and hear about going to my house tomorrow." She sat obediently across from Aunt Mei, dignified like a lady from a great family.

"Proposing marriage is a big deal. Uncle Qi and I are discussing it. I don't know the customs here. I want to ask you what to bring tomorrow." Withdrew an emerald green and transparent bracelet for Cardamom to wear.

Seeing the bracelet, Cardamom was startled, and thought of something else, and when she came to her senses, the bracelet was already on her wrist.

Aunt Mei sat with her chin raised and Qi Yuping who was standing on the side looked at each other tenderly, and praised, "You look how beautiful the child is wearing."

The transparent bracelet is of excellent quality, pure and without any impurities. Even if this bracelet is placed in modern times, it is still a jade bracelet of excellent quality. It is very valuable, not to mention that in ancient times when productivity was backward, it was probably a gift from the emperor.

"Aunt Mei, this is too expensive, I can't accept it, I accept your kindness, besides, I spend all day making medicines, and it hurts me if I accidentally break them." The bracelet was withdrawn, but Aunt Mei held her hand first.

"It's useless for me to keep this bracelet. Just keep it. I know you're not a money-greedy kid, but this is my wish. Just take it."

Cardamom bit her lower lip, and slowly withdrew her hand, as if she was carrying a fragile valuable on her wrist, but she felt uncomfortable.

Aunt Mei looked at Dou Kou from the side, and couldn't help laughing, "No wonder my silly son likes you, a girl who would be tempted by anyone else, not greedy for money, good medical skills, good-looking, and good-natured."

The more she looked at it, the more she was satisfied. Although the family background of Cardamom was not as good as that of the daughters of princes and generals, she just liked it and was indescribably satisfied.

In the past, she often felt sad secretly, because her elder brother, who was the emperor, refused to admit his son's identity, and the princess mansion did not allow them to live with her, and they were not even allowed to live in Shengjing. The family of three could only live together. forced to separate.

But she is also contradictoryly grateful for this, because if her son is not recognized by the royal family, he does not have to bear the responsibility of the royal family, and does not need to be treated as a pawn.

But now, she understands that fate cannot be resisted, and the blood of the royal family flows in her son's body, so he is destined to become a pawn.

It's just that some chess pieces can end well, while others are doomed to a tragic ending from birth.

"Aunt Mei, why are you crying?" She was talking well, but Aunt Mei suddenly cried. She knew it wasn't about the marriage or the bracelet, it must have something to do with it.

Qi Yuping wiped away his wife's wet eyes with his fingers in distress, hugged her up and down shoulders from crying, let her head rest on his chest, and comforted her softly, "Don't cry, these are not yours. wrong."

Cardamom bit her lip, and tightly clenched her hands hidden under the table, ready to meet Aunt Mei and Uncle Qi's next conversation.

Aunt Mei sobbed softly for a while, and Dougao frowned and reminded, "You are prone to asthma if you cry like this."

"I know, but it's too uncomfortable just to hold it in my heart, especially seeing that you are so affectionate, but you can't escape this fate, so I don't know how to speak."

"Aunt Mei, Uncle Qi, if you have anything to say, just talk about it, I can handle it."

Although she said this, Dougao panicked in her heart. It was only a few years since she was reborn, and her life here was considered carefree, but now she looked up at Aunt Mei's sad expression and fell silent .

"I'm all to blame for this matter. I dragged their father and son down and dragged you down. After discussing with your Uncle Qi, I decided to tell you the truth. After you think it over, you can decide whether to marry Qi Tengmiao."

Cardamom pressed her delicate lips tightly into a line, anxiously waiting for what kind of mountain was blocking Qi Tengmiao's front, and whether she had the ability to help him get over this hurdle.

"Aunt Mei, tell me."

"You saw that we came here with a pair of soldiers and horses. In fact, there are [-] elite soldiers stationed outside the city. Your Uncle Qi and I didn't come here on our own initiative. We were escorted here because your family letter was intercepted by the emperor. "
